Café Navarre

"Chill neighborhood restaurant Cafe Navarre is a favorite for families in Lakeview, a rare spot serving breakfast, brunch, lunch, and (early) dinner. With a homey, backyard vibe and wide-ranging menu, kid-friendly items extend beyond the kids’ menu with chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, and pizza, while salads and paninis steal the show for adults. The patio is also dog-friendly, a bonus." - Clair Lorell, Eater Staff

"This cozy cafe flies under the radar, but really is so worth discovering. Third-generation restaurant owner Heather Riccobono puts out a warm welcome for two and four-legged customers. Serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner inside and out on patio, choices range from specialty pizzas to paninis to breakfast tacos. Great family vibe." - Beth D'Addono

"Lakeview loves Cafe Navarre, a neighborhood spot for breakfast, great sandwiches, kid-friendly items, and awesome entree salads. More unexpected perhaps is the extensive frozen drinks menu to be enjoyed on the fun back patio, a list that includes watermelon frosé, wildberry mojito, bellini, “froscrew,” and a skinny pina colada — among others. A summer dream setting." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell

"Cafe Navarre is a quintessential neighborhood spot, a cozy corner restaurant tucked away on a Lakeview side street. It specializes in salads, sandwiches, and pizza, making it good for the whole family, as well as an impressive menu of frozen drinks, served on the covered patio out front or in the backyard. It’s a popular weekend brunch destination, so be prepared for a potential wait." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell

"Cafe Navarre is a sweet neighborhood spot in Lakeview, offering breakfast, great sandwiches, kid-friendly items, and of course, salads in a casual setting (there’s a front patio and backyard as well). The quintessential Cobb is a star here, where the heaping serving is full of cheese, avocado, bacon, eggs, chicken, and lettuce. The mixed greens with sesame ginger and chicken salad on top and the shrimp/avocado are also customer favorites." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
